101 of 337 regulations to be cancelled

Deputy Prime Minister M.Enkhbold, head of the working group charged with implementing business environment reforms in 2010, has said it has been decided to cancel 101 of the 337 regulations enforced by 11 ministries and 25 agencies. NGOs will be responsible for enforcing 10 of those remaining. This freedom from unnecessary paperwork and bureaucracy will be most visible in the construction sector where end of work on a building needs to be certified by 118 officials at present. The group seeks to bring this down to 56. The group’s decision will need some laws to be changed and this will need Parliamentary approval.
